Polmear Harbour View

Polmear Harbour View is a one-bedroom apartment in West Looe, sleeping two with direct views over the working harbour and the estuary out to sea. The apartment sits a short walk from the Victorian bridge that crosses to East Looe, with the harbour wall and fish quay below the windows. Rated 8.2 from 57 Booking.com reviews.

The layout is open-plan with the living area and kitchen arranged towards the harbour view, plus a separate double bedroom and one bathroom. The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher and washing machine for self-catering. WiFi is included, and the private terrace runs along the harbour-facing side, giving an outdoor dining and watching spot for the boats coming in and out.

East Looe Beach, a sheltered town beach within the harbour walls, is 400 metres across the bridge. Hannafore Beach, 1 km west along the coast path, has good year-round rock pools and is dog-friendly outside the summer ban. Plaidy Beach is 1.3 km east. The South West Coast Path heads west towards Talland Bay and Polperro, and east towards Seaton and Looe Island. Looe's restaurants, fish market, and quayside boat-trip kiosks are within a few minutes' walk.

Best for couples wanting a working-harbour setting with sea views, beach access on foot, and central Looe restaurants on the doorstep. Less good for guests bringing dogs (no dog policy here), or anyone wanting a quieter rural setting away from the working town.
